45. Big Game Basics: The Moon

The Big Game Basics series is focused on short topical conversations relating to particular aspects of hunting deer and other large game animals. In each episode, I pick up a new topic that is often talked about in the hunting community and attempt to boil it down to a lesson that you can actually use. This series is great for new hunters, as well as experienced hunters just wanting to brush up on the basics. Some of these topics are very scientific and factual, while others are just my own opinions and preferences gathered through observation and experience. In this short episode I discuss how the moon phases can affect big game hunting. Is a full moon good or bad? Does the moon phases affect the rut?
